saigon street food free tour

This was not as expected as we had to pay money to our guide. The guide was informative and we enjoyed the time

A Fascinating and Deeply Cultural Tour

We joined this tour along with two other participants. Our guide, Wade, was incredibly friendly and humorous. He shared many captivating stories about the tunnels and led us through local markets and night markets to sample various authentic street foods—all of which were absolutely delicious! The entire experience was very relaxed, and we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour to everyone; it’s a fantastic way to gain a deeper understanding of the people and culture of Vietnam.

Amazing Culinary Adventure in Ho Chi Minh City!

​I highly recommend this food tour! Our guide was exceptionally well-organized from start to finish, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. ​he took us to places I would never discover by my self and showed us an incredible variety of delicious local foods. More importantly, they patiently explained how to eat each dish properly, which really enhanced the authenticity of the experience. ​Beyond the food, the guide had a fantastic sense of humor and kept the entire group thoroughly entertained. The tour was so much fun and there wasn't a dull moment. It truly was an enjoyable, delicious, and engaging way to explore the city's food scene.

Local food

After a bad start as we booked the local food tasting and when we got there it was going to be a local saigon history of places to see! However once we explained the tour guide Wade quickly rang the office and made sure we were able to do the food tasting with some history thrown in! Absolutely brilliant information and food was delicious, Wade did us proud and his was English excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and food a massive thankyou to Wade you were brilliant! ????
